Chapter 763 - Municipalities (II)
Hearing Wang Guorui's question, everyone asked everyone what was the significance of the establishment of municipalities in Quanzhou and Taipei, and someone immediately came out to explain, and this reason almost made Wang Guorui faint.
"Your Majesty, Quanzhou is your ancestral hometown, and that is the land of Longxing! And the land of Longxing is to be one of the capitals, and Quanzhou is the birthplace of the emperor, the true dragon emperor, how can he not pay attention to it? And Taipei is the place where the emperor started, and it is the land of Longxing! Since ancient times, the land of Longxing has been listed as an important capital, even if it is not the capital, it is also listed as a companion capital, so Quanzhou and Taipei should be listed as municipalities directly under the central government. Isn't it the case that the emperors have been in the land of dragon prosperity since ancient times? ”
"Yes, when Li Tang was in Taiyuan, Taiyuan was also the land of Longxing, and it was listed as Taiyuan Mansion, and its status was the same as Chang'an Luoyang, not an ordinary state and county. During the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, once served as a festival envoy in Songzhou, so Songzhou also became the land of Longxing in the Song Dynasty, and the country name of the Song Dynasty also came from this. And Songzhou was also promoted to Yingtianfu, and later became Nanjing among the four capitals. The Ming Dynasty was not the same, the Ming Dynasty almost regarded Fengyang as the capital, and later it was also promoted to Fengyang Mansion and was called the central capital. Therefore, the land of Longxing is even more significant, isn't this very important? ”
Many people came out to agree, and then apparently touted the so-called land of Longxing here, hoping that Wang Guorui would list Quanzhou and Taipei as so-called municipalities directly under the central government, and obtain a higher status. This is also a consistent practice in all dynasties, so it is not surprising.
"Smack!" Wang Guorui slapped the table fiercely, and then said angrily: "Have you said enough?" ”
The ministers were all taken aback by Wang Guorui's anger, and then obviously felt that Wang Guorui was really angry this time. Wang Guorui rarely slapped the table so angrily, but now he actually slapped the table, so he was obviously very angry.
"You've got enough. Actually said these useless things. The Land of Dragons? You don't even see if you meet the requirements and talk nonsense, you actually want to flatter me and make it like this, do you know what it means to set up a municipality? It means a large amount of investment, it means causing a large number of changes, and it means the overall national strategy. Is it interesting that you actually use this kind of thing to flatter and pat on the back? You can't do anything practical. How do you make me believe you when you go around here, and even talk nonsense about such an important thing as the establishment of a municipality directly under the central government? Wang Guorui said angrily.
Wang Guorui was really angry, these guys actually used this practice of setting up municipalities to curry favor with Wang Guorui, thinking that it was a good thing to set up a municipality in the land of Longxing, and then it could be regarded as a sycophant. But don't these guys know that the meaning of setting up a municipality is very different! The political significance of a municipality is completely different, and the impact is completely different. Once a municipality is established, the state's appropriations and various status benefits are exactly the same as the status of a province.
So municipalities are not so easy to set up casually. Countries rarely have so-called municipalities other than capitals. Isn't it necessary to be cautious? This kind of municipality cannot be set up casually, and once it is established, it will inevitably cause a series of changes.
In good conscience, neither Taipei nor Quanzhou is suitable for the establishment of municipalities directly under the central government. At present, the most important resource provider of the empire is in the South Seas, and Taipei is no longer a key investment target. After all, Taiwan's resources are too small, and Taiwan's resources are already seriously restricting further development in the future. If a so-called municipality is established, should it continue to invest money in the water? Quanzhou does not have such important strategic significance. Although Quanzhou was a major trading port, its military and political significance could not be compared with that of several other cities. And the geographical location of Quanzhou is not very suitable. The population is also grossly under-attached. With Wang Guorui taking control of Nanyang, Quanzhou's strategic position in history has been weakened by most of the time, and it cannot become a strategically important city.
However, these guys actually use this kind of thinking to measure, and actually think that Quanzhou and Taiwan, which should be the land of Longxing, should be established as municipalities directly under the central government, so that they can obtain a higher political and economic status. This is obviously a sycophant, so such a guy is a sycophant. Wang Guorui is a sycophant. It's still tolerable. But the problem is that don't go too farth, if it goes too far, then Wang Guorui will not only not be happy, but will be angry. The establishment of such a municipality can be used as a reason for sycophancy, which is really absurd. If it is for the sake of temporary sycophancy, a municipality is also established. It was very costly after that.
The status of municipalities directly under the central government is treated according to the province, so the next various inputs are completely wasted. The local development conditions simply do not have this potential, and reluctantly investing in it is completely half the effort. And in the next few decades, hundreds of years of investment, it will be a bottomless pit. For a momentary sycophant, the price is actually the financial investment of the next few decades and hundreds of years, so Wang Guorui is completely angry. You can't use your own money? However, the price of this sycophant is the financial investment in the next few decades and hundreds of years, and the price is extremely huge. These guys don't spend their own money to invest, and then spend the country's finances for the next few decades and hundreds of years, which is completely generous to others, completely joking with the interests of the country, and using the country's countless funds and resources in the future to make a fool of themselves. Therefore, this kind of sycophant with such a big price, Wang Guorui is really unacceptable!
Wang Guorui doesn't believe that they don't know the cost of establishing the so-called municipality, but once the municipality is established, the cost is very large, especially the cost of capital and resource investment, which is extremely huge, and all the money will be wasted when the time comes. Wang Guorui didn't believe that these guys didn't know, but they still did it, isn't it painful to spend other people's money?
"You bastards, you guys will be pragmatic in the future, don't give me these false things. If it was the agricultural era in the past, then I naturally wouldn't say anything, because it's the same with more input and less input. But now is the industrial age, and if you want to be a temporary sycophant, you will have to invest a lot of money in it. So what happens in the end? In the industrial age, the investment was greater, and the cost was greater. Once you invest too much money in a place that is not suitable for development, it can only be half the result in the end, or even wasted. In the industrial age, the whole country was affected by a hair, where can it be messed up casually? You are a happy fart now, but in the future, you will let future generations and the people of the whole country bear the consequences? When the time comes, the huge amount of money invested will have no effect, are you interested? It really doesn't cost you money, you don't have heartache! Wang Guorui snorted.
"Death to the minister!" Someone immediately came out to plead and said.
Wang Guorui soon said: "Erfeng Erlu, the people are fat and the people's ointment, this is something that Song Taizu also knows." You have collected taxes from the people, and you don't think about how to benefit the people, but you are here to please me with the fat and ointment of so many people in the future? It's just a matter of pleasing you, and you also have to see the price behind it. It is really unreasonable that such a thing as a municipality can be used as a joke. In the future, you have to be pragmatic, don't play with all this nonsense, it's not good for the country, it's not good for the people, it's not good for me, understand? In everything, we should put the interests of the country first, not do any face-saving projects for the interests of myself and my family. ”
"You will govern in the future, don't always think about what the emperor and leaders like, think more about what the people need!"
Wang Guorui is simply unreasonable for this kind of thing that after becoming an emperor, he also returned to his hometown to increase construction, and then blindly invested in it regardless of the so-called reality. And this kind of project is nothing more than a face-saving project for a certain leader, but the cost is also borne by the whole country. And I haven't seen how much heavy investment there is in Yan'an, the so-called "land of dragon prosperity" after the founding of New China! Especially in the industrial age, if the investment is increased in a certain place that is not suitable for investment, it will inevitably cause a series of chain reactions in the end, and it will really be over. So in this era, where is it so easy to govern, where can it be as casual as in the past? With the development of the times, all aspects must also be considered, and it is not necessary to think about agricultural education and the army as in the past. In this era, everything has to be considered, and there are far more things to consider than in the past. So be careful at every step, don't just pat your head and get it out.
Immediately someone began to shout: "The emperor is wise! The emperor is really a once-in-3,000-year-old master, who can put the interests of the country first, and then don't care about personal gains and losses, he is really a generation of masters! And the emperor can not focus on his hometown, but on the people, that is really a Ming Jun! ”
"Your Majesty! The emperor regards the whole world as his hometown, rather than narrowly treating Quanzhou as his hometown. The emperor's realm is high, and we can't compare with it. This world is the emperor's hometown, and the emperor's open-mindedness is really admirable! ”
When Wang Guorui heard this, he immediately said: "Retreat from the dynasty, go and do your own thing, and do less sycophants." Think more about what the people need! ”
"Okay, retreat!" Jun Ji-hyun, who was in charge of palace affairs, immediately asked the female secretaries of the peripheral secretariats to guide the ministers away. (To be continued.) )
